    Disney+'s WHAT IF ...? ANIMATED SERIES (2021)

    in The Movie Forum

    Posted

    Just finished binging this show for the first time and I liked how it wrapped up overall, the first episode being my favorite.  There are some logic points that I can't get over though..

    Spoiler

    In episode 2 T'Challa was kidnapped instead of Peter Quill.  As incompetent as the Ravager henchmen may be, its impossible to imagine how they mistakenly went to the WRONG CONTINENT and even though they had a picture of the WHITE boy, they kidnap the wrong boy.  In order to operate space faring equipment, guns, etc. you have to have a fair level of competence, enough not to make such a hugely unbelievable mistake.

    In ep. 3 why didn't Hank just outright kill Fury the way he did with Stark?  He could've killed Romanoff at the same time.

    In ep. 5 I didn't buy that Vision would've done such a thing to T'Challa, turning him into Wanda food.  Also Thanos being Zombified wasn't credible, I sincerely doubt with the stones in his possession, he would've allowed himself to be bitten.

    In ep. 6 Tony gets Killmonger alone and confronts him with the truth.  He utilizes a robot to deal with him, but it wasn't enough.  Why not have a bunch of them just in case and also why stay in the room during the fight?  And why not tell/show everyone what he did?

    I thought ep. 7 was just too damn silly, 'nuff said!

    In ep. 8 Ultron bisects Thanos.  Thanos had the rest of the stones and was sliced in two like a hot knife going through butter, sorry but don't buy it.  And more utter goofiness as the Watcher is frothing at the mouth to see Hawkeye pick the right box and folder.  This whole series would've been better if they had skipped over the silliness and kept it serious.  And the whole thing with Arnim Zola being uploaded into an arrow as a virus and perfectly shot by someone who doesn't regularly use a bow, exactly into the eye of Ultron was a bit of a stretch.  She is good, but I mean come on!
